BlueFreedom, I have been a fan of yours since the very beginning. You are respectful and witty and just the kindest Jelly. Of course, I can never forget how you serve your country and make the rest of us Americans safe. Thank you for your service and your answers, congratulations!

It’s always nice to have a party thrown in your honor but even more so when it’s given by such an esteemed group of individuals such as those found here on Fluther. It’s truly made my day that all of you have stopped by to wish me well on this occasion and I’m grateful.

Right now many of the Jellies are taking This Path to get to your party. As you may have heard from Symbeline and Cruiser, Fluther recently took posession of the property next door, so the grounds have more than doubled in size, making it possible for us to build custom accomodations, instead of just giving you a room in the mansion. Since you love the area of the California Redwoods, we took it upon ourselves to build you a fancy log home and the gardeners hauled in a bunch of real, mature redwood trees, a fern grotto and even a stream for your pleasure. This is one of the rooms in your lodge-style accomodations. I hope it suits your fancy.

And as I found out with @lilycoyote last week, it turns out that my “soy people” are really a hit. I’ve been able to create soy versions of our favorite folks, so just for you I made a tasty Marilyn Monroe, a succulent Jayne Mansfield, a tart Mae West and a sweet-honey version of Audrey Hepburn. You just put one of these life-sized soy gals into the microwave for about a minute and then they’re ready (and ready can mean whatever you want it to mean ; – P)

And just for fun, the gardeners also put a miniature version of the Grand Canyon right outside of your bedroom window. We thought it would be fun to have a snowball fight later and then maybe make some s’mores around the campfire.

And since I don’t think we’ve ever done this before, in your honor, I’m inviting all of the Jellies who have already, or will later post on this Q, to put something into a time capsule that we will bury (and and leave for our Fluther decendants to dig up 100 years from now) after all of the wine has been drunk and the food has been consumed, but before everyone retires to bed for the evening. I’ll go first. I’m putting in a copy of The Moosewood Cookbook and a photo of Fran and Maxwell

Congratulations to you, sir! What are you going to put in the time capsule???

@mazingerz88. Thanks so much! I think a flight in an SR-71 would probably be the most killer ride ever!@Ayesha. Thank you very much!@Kardamom. Thank you so much for the excellent post! The path is beautiful as is that fantastic room! Looks seriously cozy! I’m up for the snowball fights too! Let’s do it! =)@Sunny2. A double thank you for the double good wishes, my friend!
